Join with League to Promote Positively Michigan    Positively Michigan, the MCUL & Affiliates’ campaign to compile suggestions to improve the state, has proved quite popular so far, generating dozens of comments so far.   Credit unions are positive that Michigan can turn around its struggling economy and flourish again, and our members will be part of any solution. Our members live here, own businesses here, love this state and know what it will take to turn around the economy.   Change has already begun, starting with our new governor, Rick Snyder, who has some pretty bold ideas for fixing our problems. We think you will have some great ideas to consider, too. So, what is your positive idea for improving Michigan? Does it have to do with new and different ways to improve our schools? Ways to support our businesses? Ideas for fixing our infrastructure? We'd like to hear about it!   To ensure your voices are heard, we plan on periodically updating Gov. Rick Snyder on the positively best ideas you have to offer. When we presented this program to the governor, his response was: "I love that campaign because that's what it's about, being positive in Michigan," so we already know that he is waiting for our ideas!   Click here to see all of the suggestions that have been posted so far and to submit your own.   Visit the campaign at PositivelyMich.com.

Invest in America and GM Team Up To Support Cell Phones for Soldiers General Motors Co., Invest in America and more than 270 credit unions across the country are supporting the 150,000 U.S. troops currently stationed overseas by collecting used cell phones. Credit union members can support the collection drive by donating their phones at more than 700 participating credit union branches, including FinancialEdge Community Credit Union.   FinancialEdge CCU is honored to participate in the nationwide initiative to help U.S. service members get a free 60-minute calling card. You can help us support our troops and connect them to their loved ones by donating a used cell phone to Cell Phones for Soldiers. FinancialEdge members can donate used cell phones by dropping them off at any FinancialEdge location. In 2004, 13- and 15-year-old Robbie and Brittany Bergquist of Norwell, Mass., founded Cell Phones for Soldiers with $21 of their own money. Since then, the nonprofit has raised millions of dollars in donations and distributed millions of prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas. Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to collect more than 1 million cell phones in 2011 and to raise more than $10 million in the next five years to fund new programs, such as providing video phones and prepaid service to allow troops abroad to see their families on a regular basis. The donated phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each phone – the money is used to purchase prepaid calling cards which are sent to troops.
